Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dynamic monitoring technology for power systems, and in particular to a method, system, equipment, and medium for real-time estimation of the primary frequency regulation margin of hydropower units. Background Technology

[0002] With the changing energy structure, low-carbon and green new energy power generation is playing an increasingly important role in the entire power system. However, due to the high uncertainty of new energy sources and the small amount of reserve energy for rapid regulation, higher demands are placed on the voltage and frequency regulation capabilities of the power grid in new power systems with a high proportion of new energy sources. Hydropower units, due to their fast response speed, high regulation accuracy, and strong output controllability, have always been an important resource for primary frequency regulation of the system.

[0003] Current power dispatching systems generally focus on the response of generating units after actual frequency regulation events occur, and evaluate the frequency regulation performance of these units based on their actual output and power response. However, such evaluations are often lagging, unable to dynamically predict current frequency regulation capabilities, and difficult to accurately grasp the adjustability of various power sources before grid frequency disturbances, especially the upper and lower regulation margins of primary frequency regulation. Furthermore, due to a lack of high-precision measurement methods and real-time estimation tools, some power generation companies have an unclear understanding of their own frequency regulation margins, resulting in slow frequency regulation response or insufficient investment, affecting the frequency stability of the entire system.

[0004] In recent years, with the advancement of digital power plant construction, real-time acquisition of unit operating parameters (such as head and guide vane opening) has become possible, providing a data foundation for the dynamic estimation of primary frequency regulation margin. By establishing a mapping relationship between head, guide vane opening, and active power output of the unit, and introducing the constraints of the national standard GB / T 40595-2021 on the frequency regulation capability of hydropower units, the upper and lower regulation margins of each hydropower unit can be evaluated online in real time. These units can then be grouped and sorted according to their capacity, response speed, and other characteristics, facilitating rapid assessment of frequency regulation capability by operators. This method possesses advantages such as clear computational logic, fast response speed, and low implementation cost, helping to improve power generation companies' control over primary frequency regulation capability and providing frequency regulation auxiliary decision support for power dispatching departments.

[0031] When the calculation results are displayed in a visual interface, they are grouped and sorted according to the capacity and response speed characteristics of different hydropower units. When the upward or downward adjustment margin of a certain unit is lower than the set value, it will be automatically highlighted in the graphical interface or table, and linked to the map and information panel to prompt the operation and maintenance personnel to pay attention.

[0050] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 As one embodiment of the present invention, a method for real-time estimation of the primary frequency control margin of a hydropower unit is provided, which can realize the real-time calculation, recording, and display of the primary frequency control margin of the hydropower unit. For example... Figure 1 The specific steps shown are as follows:

[0052] S100: Real-time acquisition of hydraulic head and guide vane opening data, and calculation of upper and lower adjustment margins of guide vane opening based on the current guide vane opening data;

[0053] S200: Calculate the upper and lower adjustment margins of the current active power by combining the current guide vane opening margin and the first conversion curve;

[0054] S300: The calculation results are displayed in a visual interface, classifying and showing the upward and downward adjustment margins of the grid-connected units, so as to realize the real-time estimation of the primary frequency regulation margin of the hydropower units.

[0055] It should be noted that, to address the problem that existing technologies cannot predict the frequency regulation capacity of hydropower units in real time, and can only perform delayed evaluations after a frequency regulation event occurs, resulting in insufficient dynamic control of the system's frequency regulation margin and affecting the stability of the power grid frequency, the above steps S100 to S300 significantly simplify the calculation process by real-time acquisition of guide vane opening and head, and a simple mapping relationship of the conversion curves. This enables millisecond-level response and has good adaptability to power grid frequency regulation scheduling scenarios with high real-time requirements. Existing primary frequency regulation performance assessment mainly relies on data analysis after an event occurs, lacking means to predict potential frequency regulation capacity. This invention can dynamically estimate the upper and lower regulation margins under undisturbed conditions, providing power grid dispatchers with frequency regulation capacity situational awareness and making up for the shortcomings of traditional static capacity evaluation. In addition, the estimation results of this invention can be integrated with the AGC system as boundary conditions for regional ACE control or as a basis for selecting priority units, further enhancing the automation and precision allocation capabilities of frequency regulation tasks and realizing intelligent collaboration between power plants and power grid dispatch.

[0056] It should be noted that this invention can provide data-driven primary frequency margin assessment results, which can serve as the basis for market pricing, performance evaluation, and assessment compensation, thus helping to enhance the market competitiveness of hydropower units. This invention is applicable to various types of hydropower units, including conventional hydropower and pumped storage power stations, and can dynamically adjust the estimation strategy according to actual head changes and operating modes (constant operating degree / constant power), possessing a certain degree of self-adaptability.

[0057] Example 2, refer to Figures 2-4 Based on the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a specific implementation method, system, equipment and medium for real-time estimation of primary frequency control margin of hydropower units, in order to illustrate the technical means used in this method.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the above step S100, which involves real-time acquisition of hydraulic head and guide vane opening data, and calculation of the upper and lower adjustment margins of the guide vane opening based on the current guide vane opening data, includes:

[0059] Specifically, the hydraulic head and guide vane opening data are collected in real time, and the collected data are filtered and smoothed to eliminate the impact of instantaneous fluctuations on the frequency margin calculation results and improve the estimation accuracy.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, calculating the upper and lower adjustment margins of the guide vane opening includes:

[0061] The current guide vane opening G is obtained in real time through an online measurement system. current ;

[0062] The minimum guide vane opening of the hydroelectric generator is set to G. min The maximum guide vane opening is G max The limiting boundary of the guide vane opening is obtained from the technical manual provided by the manufacturer.

[0063] The upward adjustment margin of the guide vane opening is the adjustment space from the current guide vane opening upwards to the maximum allowable opening: expressed by the formula: ΔG up =G max -G current The downward adjustment margin of the guide vane opening is the adjustment space from the current guide vane opening downwards to the minimum allowable opening, expressed by the formula: ΔG down =G current -G min .

[0064] It should be noted that step S100 above achieves millisecond-level monitoring of key operating parameters of the unit by collecting water head and guide vane opening data in real time and accurately calculating the upper and lower adjustment margins of the guide vane opening. This solves the problem of data acquisition lag in traditional methods and ensures that the input data required for subsequent calculations is real-time and accurate.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, the above step S200, which combines the current guide vane opening margin and the first conversion curve to calculate the upper and lower adjustment margins of the current active power, includes the following sub-steps B1 to B3:

[0066] In B1: Obtain the first conversion curve;

[0067] Specifically, while maintaining a constant hydraulic head, the guide vane opening is gradually adjusted, and the corresponding active power output of the unit is recorded. The process is repeated under different hydraulic head conditions, and the ternary set data is recorded. The ternary set data is then filtered to remove outliers. By determining the percentage of active power output of the unit under different guide vane openings and heads, the processed ternary set data is transformed into a three-dimensional surface representing head-guide vane opening-output, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the first conversion curve can also be obtained based on theoretical modeling of unit design parameters and characteristic curves. The theoretical calculation model is established by using the comprehensive characteristic curve of the turbine and the efficiency curve of the generator, combined with the principles of fluid mechanics. The theoretical output value under different combinations of head and guide vane opening is generated by numerical simulation method, and then the conversion curve is formed after calibration with field measured data.

[0069] In another optional embodiment, the first conversion curve can also be obtained by using data mining methods. By collecting historical operating data of the unit and using machine learning algorithms to train the massive amount of operating data, a nonlinear mapping relationship model between head, opening degree and output can be established. This model can automatically learn the actual operating characteristics of the unit and is especially suitable for units with complex and variable operating conditions.

[0070] In B2: Combining the current guide vane opening margin and the first conversion curve, calculate the upper and lower adjustment margins of the current active power. The specific calculations include:

[0071] The upper and lower limits of the guide vane opening are determined based on the unit's technical parameters;

[0072] By acquiring the current hydraulic head and guide vane opening data through real-time monitoring, and combining them with the pre-established first conversion curve P=f(H,G), the power values ​​corresponding to the guide vane opening being increased to the upper limit and decreased to the lower limit are calculated respectively.

[0073] By comparing the power values ​​corresponding to the guide vane opening being increased to the upper limit and decreased to the lower limit with the current actual power value P, current This yields the upper and lower regulation margins of the current active power.

[0074] Specifically, the power calculation margin is shown in the following formula:

[0075] Upward adjustment margin of active power: ΔP up =f(H current G current +ΔG up )-P current

[0076] Downward adjustment margin of active power: ΔP down =P current -f(H current G current -ΔG down );

[0077] In B3: When calculating the upper and lower regulation margins of the current active power, the constraints on the frequency regulation capability of the hydropower unit must be considered, including the constraints on the operation cycle of the primary frequency regulation circuit and the constraints on the permanent slip coefficient.

[0078] Specifically, the constraint on the operation cycle of the primary frequency regulation circuit is that the operation cycle of the primary frequency regulation circuit program of the hydropower unit shall not exceed the first threshold.

[0079] Specifically, based on the constraint of the primary frequency modulation loop operation cycle, it is calculated that the resolution during head and guide vane opening measurement is not less than the fourth threshold; whereby, the primary frequency modulation loop operation cycle is the sum of the operation cycle time during head and guide vane opening measurement, the computer calculation time of the primary frequency modulation margin time, and the output to the display interface.

[0080] Specifically, the constraint on the permanent slip coefficient is that the permanent slip coefficient should not exceed the second threshold in the opening adjustment mode, and the permanent power difference coefficient should not exceed the third threshold in the power adjustment mode.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the first threshold is 40ms. The selection is mainly based on the explicit requirements of Section 7.1 of GB / T 40595-2021 "Technical Specifications and Test Guidelines for Primary Frequency Regulation of Grid-Connected Power Supply". This standard is based on the dynamic response characteristics of power system frequency control to ensure that the frequency regulation command can complete two sampling calculations within one power frequency cycle (20ms).

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, the second threshold is 4% and the third threshold is 3%. The selection of the second threshold and the third threshold corresponds to the permanent slip coefficient limit in the opening regulation mode and the power regulation mode, respectively. These values ​​are derived from the provisions of Section 7.3 of the same standard and are optimized parameters determined based on the regulation characteristics of hydropower units, the frequency stability requirements of the power grid, and years of engineering practice experience.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, the fourth threshold is 25Hz. The sampling frequency requirement of the fourth threshold is obtained by converting the first threshold of 40ms into a sampling frequency (1 / 0.04s = 25Hz). At the same time, the Nyquist sampling theorem is taken into account to ensure that the key features of the unit's dynamic process can be accurately captured.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, the constraints may further include constraints based on unit dynamic characteristic tests: by conducting step response tests and frequency disturbance tests, the dynamic response characteristics of the unit under different operating conditions are measured, including key parameters such as regulation rate and response delay time. A unit dynamic performance database is established based on the test results, and dynamic constraint thresholds are set for frequency regulation capabilities under different operating conditions.

[0085] In another optional embodiment, the constraints may also include constraints that take into account the real-time operating status of the power grid: by accessing the real-time monitoring system of the power grid, operating parameters such as the current system frequency deviation and regional control error are obtained, and the frequency regulation capability constraint value of the generating units is dynamically adjusted in combination with the frequency regulation requirements of the power grid. For example, when the system frequency deviation is large, the permanent slip coefficient limit can be appropriately relaxed to provide greater regulation capability; when the system is operating smoothly, standard constraint values ​​are used to ensure regulation accuracy.

[0086] It should be noted that step S200 above achieves real-time dynamic assessment of frequency regulation capability through a simplified mapping relationship. The calculation process is efficient and accurate, fully meeting the real-time requirements of power grid frequency regulation. Compared with traditional ex-post assessment methods, this step enables the prediction of the unit's potential frequency regulation capability, providing forward-looking data support for dispatching decisions.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, step S300 above, which categorizes and displays the calculation results through a visual interface to classify and display the upward and downward adjustment margins of the grid-connected units, thereby achieving real-time estimation of the primary frequency regulation margin of the hydropower units, includes:

[0088] The calculation results are displayed in a visual interface, categorizing and showing the upward and downward adjustment margins of the grid-connected units. The calculation results can be used as input variables for the grid AGC control strategy to optimize the dynamic adjustment of regional control errors.

[0089] When the calculation results are displayed in a visual interface, they are grouped and sorted according to the capacity and response speed characteristics of different hydropower units, so that operators can quickly assess the frequency regulation capability. When the upward or downward adjustment margin of a certain unit is lower than the set value, it will be automatically highlighted in the graphical interface or table, and linked to the map and information panel to prompt the operation and maintenance personnel to pay attention.

[0090] Specifically, this embodiment features a visual display interface for real-time classification and trend tracking of the current frequency control margin information of the hydropower unit. For example... Figure 4The diagram shown is a typical interface for displaying primary frequency control margin, which mainly includes the following functional blocks:

[0091] ① Unit Information Display Area: The left side of the page categorizes and displays different types of power sources, including conventional power sources, typical units, and hydropower units. Each type of power source lists key operating parameters, such as grid-connected installed capacity, current actual output, upward adjustment margin, and downward adjustment margin. The illustrations are presented intuitively in the form of graphic cards to enhance readability.

[0092] ② Regional schematic diagram and total adjustment capacity display: The distribution of frequency regulation capacity in different regions is shown in the form of a geographical map, and the current adjustable capacity of the region is marked, including the "total upward adjustment capacity" and the "total downward adjustment capacity", which makes it easier for dispatchers to grasp the overall picture of regional response capacity.

[0093] ③ Hydropower Unit Frequency Regulation Margin Table: The upper right corner displays a list of the frequency regulation capabilities of the hydropower units. The table lists the name of each unit, its current output, rated output, and its upward and downward regulation margins. It supports real-time updates and can be sorted or filtered as needed.

[0094] ④ Interactive and Highlighting Warning Functions: The system supports exporting data to Excel spreadsheets. In addition, the system supports setting adjustment margin threshold warning functions. When the upward or downward margin of a unit falls below the set value, it will be automatically highlighted in the graphical interface or table, and linked to the map and information panel to alert maintenance personnel.

[0095] It should be noted that step S300 above displays the calculation results intuitively through a visual interface, enabling real-time visual monitoring of frequency control margin information. This interface not only categorizes and presents the frequency control capabilities of each unit but also supports intelligent sorting by characteristics such as capacity and response speed, and includes an early warning function. This significantly improves the efficiency of operators' perception of the system's frequency control capabilities, making scheduling decisions more scientific and efficient, and effectively solving the problems of unintuitive information display and insufficient decision-making basis in traditional methods.

[0098] The first calculation module is used to calculate the upper and lower adjustment margins of the guide vane opening based on the current guide vane opening data.

[0099] The second calculation module is used to calculate the upper and lower adjustment margins of the current active power by combining the current guide vane opening margin and the first conversion curve.

[0100] The visualization module is used to classify and display the calculation results through a visual interface, showing the upward and downward adjustment margins of the grid-connected units in the system, so as to realize the real-time estimation of the primary frequency regulation margin of the hydropower units.

[0101] It should be noted that the technical solution of the real-time estimation system for the primary frequency control margin of the hydropower unit is based on the same concept as the technical solution of the real-time estimation method for the primary frequency control margin of the hydropower unit described above.
